Xerox have been given a three-year managed print services contract by NHS Business Services Authority [NHSBSA] worth £40m.

The lucrative agreement will see Xerox manage the printing of millions of secure and non-secure business forms, including prescription forms, dental forms and operational forms for the NHS in England and Wales.

Xerox will work in partnership with Adare, allowing them to establish a secure printing site at Adare’s facility in Huddersfield.

NHSBSA head of service Brendan Brown said: “When dealing with secure documents it’s important to closely monitor their progress from conception to delivery.

“As a result we needed a service that ensures zero disruption to the provision of clinically critical NHS forms, coupled with careful consideration of security and time efficiency. Xerox provides exactly the expertise we need.”

A huge part of the contract will involve Xerox seeking out ways in which to secure time and cost savings through a transform of the NHS’s document supply chain. The idea is in line with the Department of Health’s plan for the NHS to go paperless by 2018, which is said to be worth “billions” that will allow an improvement on overall healthcare services.

This will mean non-secure documents, such as dental and operational forms, will be migrated from physical copies to a digital format where it is appropriate.

Xerox UK managing director Darren Cassidy said: “This contract is about understanding the specific needs of the health service and working together with the NHSBSA to manage productivity and security concerns.

In a blog post on Xerox’s website, Cassidy went on to express the benefits of going paper-less where possible.

“It can’t be denied that making this shift to digitise and transition paper-based processes is a lengthy and fairly complex one; a journey we’re still right at the beginning of, with many steps ahead,” said Cassidy.

“Attempting to migrate all paper practices online at once is likely to result in more confusion and prove damaging to productivity. In many cases, it’s less about being completely paperless, and more about functioning with less paper.

“A fundamental first step towards fulfilling the NHS’ less-paper goal, therefore, is to ensure the security and confidentiality of new digital documents.

“The provision of a secure managed print service – and the creation of digital repositories for patient information – can help achieve this.”

The Red Dot Award was created in 1954 to recognise products with the highest quality of design.

MakerBot believes in clean, consolidated product design that maximises user accessibility, and the sleek, high performance MakerBot Replicator represents the latest iteration of these goals. The fifth generation Replicator provides the easiest and most versatile way to get from 3D model to 3D print.

The MakerBot Replicator Desktop 3D Printer was among the winners selected from nearly 5,000 entries by an international jury of the Red Dot Award.

“This 3D printer features an inspiring, open design. Its clean aesthetics blend perfectly into professional and educational environments, as well as the home,” stated the Red Dot jury.

“Many companies focus simply on the mechanical and electrical components, and neglect the design considerations that build an emotional connection with the printer and a seamless user experience. The MakerBot Replicator, with its design recognition, stands out from other printers as being more than just a collection of components.”

“We wanted to create a desktop 3D printer that was friendly, accessible and invites individuals, whether a 5th grader or a professional engineer, to engage and quickly turn an idea into a physical object,” said Yuri Salnikoff, Chief Marketing Officer of MakerBot.

“The MakerBot Replicator provides direct access in the work area and empowers educators, designer and engineers to unleash their creativity.”

The Samsung Smart Printer Diagnostic System [SPSD], a printer failure diagnostic tool which has been receiving positive ratings from technical service engineers and end users, has been launched by Samsung.

The Samsung Smart Printer Diagnostic System is the industry’s first mobile application consisting of image and video guides for troubleshooting printers.

With the Samsung Smart Printer Diagnostic System, the aim is to standardise the quality of IT service across providers around the globe with direct, easy-to-follow visual guides developed individually for every Samsung MultiXpress printer model.

“SPDS is an organic component of Samsung’s philosophy guaranteeing high quality in everything from product development to maintenance,” said David SW Song, Senior Vice President of Strategy Marketing and Sales, Printing Solutions, Samsung Electronics.

The Samsung Smart Printer Diagnostic System app gives users access to the SPDS server, the storage for official Samsung service manuals, technical information, educational videos and real-time notifications for software updates for Samsung Smart MultiXpress models.

When a mobile device with the Samsung Smart Printer Diagnostic System app receives an error message from the failed printer, the app automatically identifies the issue and displays a step-by-step troubleshooting guide. Engineers can also share video footage as references with other engineers.

General users with relatively less technical knowledge can also refer to the Samsung Smart Printer Diagnostic System guides to fix minor printer issues without calling technical support and bearing service costs.

Early adopters have praised the tool for addressing the issue of inconsistent service that can result from service engineers’ varying levels of expertise and knowledge. They were satisfied with the fast and accurate service provided by Samsung.

The Samsung Smart Printer Diagnostic System is available for download from Google Play and Galaxy Apps in 51 countries.
